AN: This is a poem I wrote this year for a school assignment... It's an ode, and it got published in a national poetry contest for middle school students.
O' ocean,
your shimmering blue-green dress
is like the sky's twin,
with islands instead of clouds.
The sound of crashing waves,
the feel of a fresh breeze
makes me taste the temptation
to dive into the water
O' ocean,
your serene grace is unmatched.
Your elegant, silky ribbons of foam
are forever dazzling.
When the Sun sets,
you are aglow with a hundred shades and hues.
A vibrant brew of colors,
the moment is enchanting.
O' ocean,
entrust me with your greatest secrets
of the aquatic world.
